Kyle Lowry had 20 points, Norm Powell and Serge Ibaka had 19 off the bench, and OG Anunoby added 13 in a well-balanced Raptors attack.

A pair of three-pointers from Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk cut Detroit's deficit to 13 points with less than three minutes to play in the fourth quarter but that's as close as the Pistons would get.

What does Raptors’ Pascal Siakam have to do to take another leap?

Pascal Siakam will have the opportunity to become the Toronto Raptors’ No. 1 option. But what does he have to do in order to make the leap? JD Bunkis and Donnovan Bennett discussed in the latest episode of Free Association. The post Ren Lavoie on the Atlantic Division, the Canadiens start, and early season trades appeared first on Sportsnet.ca.But while the first audition as “the guy” went off without much of a hitch – the only negatives being that he fouled out and was an inefficient 11-for-26 from the field – the question still remains: What does Siakam have to do to take that leap and become the Raptors’ definitive No.

Wednesday's matchup marked Casey's first game in Toronto since the Raptors won the NBA Championship last June. Casey won all three games Detroit played against his old team last year in his first season as coach of the Pistons.

Casey, Toronto's all-time leader in coaching victories (320) and winning percentage (.573), was fired by the Raptors in May 2018. He was honoured as the NBA's coach of the year in his final season in Toronto.

Casey was replaced by Nick Nurse, who previously served as his assistant with the Raptors.

"Obviously we had a great run together. We won a heck of a lot of ball games, and fought a lot of battles together," Nurse said before the game. "He did an outstanding job with Detroit last year and they're going to be knocking on the door again this year.

"They're very well coached, they're hard to play against. ... So, tremendous amount of respect for him as a person and as a coach. He keeps putting out teams that win."

Casey received a warm ovation from the fans at Scotiabank Arena when he was announced as the Pistons coach before the game, and the Raptors played a video tribute for him during a timeout in the first quarter.

The Raptors led 37-28 after 12 minutes and 64-58 at the half. Anunoby ignited the crowd early with a pair of dunks, including one on a Detroit turnover that put Toronto up 28-20 with two minutes left in the first quarter.
